Nice Ride

    We documented the opening of Nice Ride last Thursday, June 10, 2010. Basically, it is an effort to save energy and prevent pollution by having up to 1,000 bikes acting as taxi cabs around the downtown, uptown, and U of M areas. For the opening day, dozens of people rode the bikes down Nicollet Avenue from the Minneapolis Central Library to Peavey Plaza, where Mayor R.T. Rybak spoke to the public. Below is a photograph of the bikers crossing the intersection of Nicollet and 4th, shot from the sixth floor of a parking garage.
